Suggs still refusing to say Brady's name before MNF clash

The New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens have one of the better rivalries in the NFL, but linebacker Terrell Suggs' individual feud with Tom Brady might be even better.

Suggs has taken issue with Brady since 2010 due to the quarterback's antics with officials and overall personality, not to mention the fair amount of losses the Patriots have dropped on the Ravens.

In the past, Suggs has refused to call Brady by name, referring to him as "quarterback from New England" or "the pretty boy from up north," but wouldn't refer to Brady as anything except "he" to reporters on Wednesday.

As transcribed by ESPN's Jamison Hensley:

Reporter: Tom Brady became the winningest quarterback in NFL history. What's your take on that?

Suggs: He's pretty good. Like I said, wins are wins and numbers are numbers. Numbers don't lie. He's pretty good.

Reporter: Is it fair to say you really don't want to talk about Tom Brady?

Suggs: I'm like Marshawn Lynch. I know why I'm here. It's a big game this week. We're playing a good team. It's going to be fun.

Reporter: You don't want to say his name, do you?

Suggs: I mean, it's going to be fun. We're going to have fun. It's going to be an interesting game. We accept the challenge.

Suggs and the Ravens will travel to New England for their Monday night contest. Baltimore needs to win in order to securely keep its spot atop the AFC North.
